Hell No To Medical Marijuna

Full disclosure folks,I have smoked weed and I'm still here to see another day,so the issue I have with legalizing marijuna is twofolded.
First we have too many issues with drugs in our community today with out the State of Pennsylvania,allowing another legal drug to invade our community.
Yea I know  illegal weed is right down the street for a price,but just like the bug( before the State Lottery what numbers were called in Baltimore)the state getting in the business doesn't make it right for my community.
So many people that I run into on a daily basis are so stuck on stupid (SOS) from the use of one drug or the other that my community here in Pittsburgh is a walking dead community.
Funny thing about this is the money that will be generated from the sale of legal weed will never see it's  way to my community.
The money is to be used for roads and bridges in Pennsylvania,AND OF COURSE THE ROADS AND BRIDGES IN MY COMMUNITY NEVER MAKE THE LIST FOR REPAIR UNTIL IT'S HALFWAY IN THE RIVER.
So Governor Rendell go pedal your drugs elsewhere,my community needs hope not more dope!
My community needs jobs and leadership,not another  legal pimp and drug dealer,we already have Walgreen and Rite-Aid and poverty doctors pumping us up with enough legal drugs.

What about the people killed on the oil rig?

Much has been said about the thousands of  gallons of oil leaking from the oil rig disaster,we all have heard about the millions of dollars in losses to the seafood industry.
But no one is talking about the lost lives of the dozen men and women lost in that disaster.
Just goes to show you that the lives of us worker bees out here is not valued.
My heart felt sorrow go out to the families of these oil rig workers.

Fish and Oil Don't Mix

I grew up eating fresh seafood right off the boats that sailed into and docked in the port of Baltimore,during the late 1950's and 60's.
It was exciting to watch my father bring home a bushel of blue crabs live and cook them in a pot on the stove or to eat a spot or rock fish fresh from the Chesapeake Bay.
I have been paying attention to the state of health to the Chesapeake Bay for the past few years and it's not good folks.
Between overfishing and pollution flowing into the Bay,fishing and crabbing is not what it use to be.
So with the Oil leaking from the BP oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico creeping slowly and closer to the fishing areas of the Gulf,30% of the shrimp consumed in this country is about to become contaminatated with crude oil.
The big shots at BP oil is said to have led every government agency involved with this spill   clean up to believe that they had this spill under control.
The price of seafood will hit the roof in the coming days and BP will try it's best to spin the story as to not make the spill it's problem.
